"The College of Business, previously housed in three separate buildings, now has a four-story, limestone-clad home with a 300-seat lecture hall, eight classrooms, four computer labs, eight group-project rooms, offices, and more. The building, situated next to the university's central green, attempts to mediate among the varying architectural styles of structures around it while establishing an identity of its own. Wood from walnut trees that had to be cut down to make room for construction was reused in bench seating lining the building's halls. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
